Greyson Chance won the CCTV/MTV Mandarin Music Festival’s “Most Popular New International Artist of the Year Award" Tuesday night in Beijing China during a nationally televised broadcast to almost one billion people!

Soon after the broadcast Greyson took to his official Weibo account to tell his fans,

“Oh my goodness! I won an MTV Mandarin award! Thank you so much MTV and CCTV. Truly an honor to be here.”

This was Greyson’s first trip to Beijing and his first award from the popular MTV Music Festival.

Greyson was joined on his trip by musician and producer Michael Warren who accompanied Greyson through his new song “Sunshine & City Lights” before Greyson took to the piano in solo mode to belt out a completely new version of his hit single "Waiting Outside The Lines".

Greyson walked the red carpet like a pro and frequently stopped to sign autographs for his fans and answer questions from the press. And of course he got front row seating with his father Scott, Michael Warren and his manager Staci.

After his 15 hour flight over the weekend and a quick 12 hours of sleep to ward off the jet lag, Greyson endured a grueling day of press and promotional work before arriving at the Wukesong Indoor Stadium in Beijing China for the nationally televised event.
